IGF2BP2 promotes metastatic behaviour of HNSCC cells in vitro. A-B The efficiency of knockdown and overexpression of IGF2BP2 was validated by RT-qPCR (A) and western blot (B) at mRNA as well as protein levels in FaDu and SCC15 cells. GAPDH served as an internal control. ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001, ns: not statistically significant. C-D Images representing wound healing (C) and transwell assays (D) showing the mobility and invasiveness of HNSCC cells after knockdown or overexpression of IGF2BP2. Lower right panel shows the statistical data of cell migration distance, and migrated and invaded cell counts. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001. All the data are presented in the form of mean ± SD from three independently performed experiments
